REFLECTOR: New Nose Gear (RG

[Stockman, Bill]

Depending on the gap, find some hard rubber or similar material and
place in front of the captivator, the gap will fill and it will
eliminate the problem.   I used a piece from an old tire and it has
worked great for the last 18 months.

Well, I got the new nose gear installed with the upgraded bumper. I
weighed down the nose with 120 lbs, then used my ratchet tie down and
scrunched it down even further. Put in the captivator plate.. no
problem. 

 

Once I let the weight off, the captivator plate doesn't even touch the
nose gear. It is not tight at all. Great. Something else I have to
re-design. 

 

Back to work (real work) to rest & ponder.
